The SN2 reaction requires three qualities: a strong nucleophile‚ a good‚ unhindered leaving group‚ and a polar‚ aprotic solvent. For our reaction‚ we have all three bases covered. The nucleophile is an alkoxide‚ a deprotonated alcohol. Technically‚ because our alcohol is a phenol‚ the conjugate base is called a phenoxide. Phenol itself has a pKa of about 10‚ but our alcohol has more resonance opportunities‚ so the pKa is down around 8. This is sufficiently acidic for use of weak base like K2CO3 for

Chemical Reactions- Sodium Hydroxide A chemical reaction is a change where two or more substances are changed into a new substance. You can identify a chemical reaction by colour change‚ effervescence (bubbles)‚ when light or heat given off‚ and the change is usually irreversible. There are 6 main types of chemical reactions- combustion (often called burning)‚ synthesis‚ decomposition‚ neutralization‚ single replacement and double replacement. A combustion reaction is a reaction with oxygen‚ and

Dances with Wolves Reaction Paper Reaction or response papers are usually requested by teachers so that you’ll consider carefully what you think or feel about something you’ve read. The following guidelines are intended to be used for reacting to a reading although they could easily be used for reactions to films too. Read whatever you’ve been asked to respond to‚ and while reading‚ think about the following questions. * How do you feel about what you are reading? * What do you agree or

Oscillating chemical reaction Aim: The overall reaction rate and concentrations of some reaction intermediates of certain chemical reactions oscillate‚ even in a homogeneous system. This phenomenon is commonly found in living organisms. These periodical variations occur when a feedback mechanism is available in which a product changes the reaction rate. In this experiment will produce oscillations in both time and space in the concentrations of cerium(IV) and cerium(III) in the BZ reaction. Use the magnetic
